KHAYAAL (moodboard): The Khayal or Aatmamanthan behind keeping this collection under the name Dhanlakshmi was very clear. We wanted to make a repository of Heirloom Sarees, where we can create colours & palettes that signify the opulence of Sri Lakshmi. After successfully venturing into Gold, Silver hues, and Pearl, Firoza, Precious stones like Tourmaline, Agate hues, we wanted to include Gemstone shades. Our lands are blessed with a variety of natural minerals and gemstones that have immense energy stored within them. Formed under the envelope of Bhoodevi's (Earth) womb, they radiate and reflect back her energy and lend them to the wearer. Our Chanderi sarees, adorned with heirloom quality Chikankari, are named after these soft and deeply spiritual stones. Jambumani or Amethsyt is a beautiful Lilac hued clear looking gemstone. This beautiful Lilac rich Chikankari Tussar Silk saree with antique quality embroidery, is the perfect connect to that emotion with us, that resonates with carrying forward a revered Textile Tradition. POSHAAK (about the saree): Jambumani or Amethyst saree is a lilac coloured Tussar Silk beauty, embroidered with extremely delicate and prized stitches of Conceptual Chikankari Art work. The palla has our Bijli boota motif put together like a Rangoli or Alpana. Bijli boota is our motif commissioned on an archived centuries old art work. The motif has Zari taar ki jaali amongst other prized stitches. A small Bijli boota accompanies the larger one all through the palla & body of the saree. The border & palla of the saree have an antique 100 year old plus bel boota running all through the saree, that has extremely prized Zari taar jaali & murri stitches!! A masterclass border. But the highlight of this masterpiece is the Bel Boota falling down from the shoulder; delicate and anointed with some of the rarest stitches, this boota is like the rice paste alpana we make outside our homes. The embroidery is done with darker lilac shade, making it stand out, and stars of Mukaish are embroidered lovingly with the embroidery to resemble lit diyas on Deepawali. Saree is further finished with Pure Handwoven Mulberry Silk selvedge in beautiful Berry Pink, providing just the right contrast, and we will also provide a 1 metre approx blouse piece in same fabric and same colour.

Stunning Resham Chikankari saree on Tussar Silk fabric, with archival quality embroidery & antique motifs! This signature saree of Meiraas is Made on Order only. Please email us at namaste@meiraas.com for colour and fabric customisation. THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):

Resham Chikankari in 3 Taar (filament) to make it lighter & more wearable
Antique & re-created archival motifs used for the Chikankari
Hand carved Chikankari blocks used
Mukaish detailing following all processes
Handloom Tussar Silk fabric
Hand Dyed in high quality pigments

- KHAYAAL (moodboard): The Khayal or Aatmamanthan behind keeping this collection under the name Dhanlakshmi was very clear, we wanted to make a repository of Heirloom Sarees, where we can create colours & palettes that signify the opulence of Sri Lakshmi. After successfully venturing into Gold, Silver hues, and Pearl, Firoza, Precious stones like Tourmaline, Agate hues, we wanted to include Gemstone shades. Even as we though about it, it was amply clear to us that this is only possible on Tussar Silk from Bhagalpur looms. Tussar Silk is one of the most perfect fabrics for antique quality Chikankari; it is appropriately supple, tenacious, luminous at the same time, & yet it's earthy texture provides a rich background for elegant stitches of Chikankari, and in gemstones colour we want. Harinmani is Sanskrit word for Emerald. This beautiful light Emerald saree is an Heirloom Piece for your wardrobe, that will create the wearer's own heritage till they wear it, that they can hand down to generations that will love to showcase it in a private viewing perhaps!! POSHAAK (about the saree): Harinmani is our first set of Dhanlakshami Chikankari saree on Handspun and Handwoven Tussar Silk, a dream that we had been working on for past 2 years. The pallu has very old archived motifs, re created recently in our unit. The stitched used are of 3 broad quality: Embossing, Surface Texture and Hand CutWork. The palla has a rare quality of “ulti bakhiya” or Reverse Shadow that is now used extremely less, as higher embroidery filament count and “chaalu/rough” embroidery style started making it look very vulgar; but with the fine handwork that Meiraas employs and 2 taar Resham Chikankari, the result is stunning, rare and exquisite. The stars of Mukaish anoint this saree strategically. If the palla is viewed from the top, it gives the impression of an ancient, well laid out city!!! The beautiful light emerald saree (an auspicious colour for all weddings and festivals), is finished with complimenting yellow Tussar silk selvedge. Please Note: Shades like Green & Red appear different in different lights (indoor/outdoor), this is the nature of such colours and out of anyone's control. Please keep this factor in mind before ordering.

Trellis Pattern Mukaish Heirloom Full Jaal Tussar Silk Dupatta

₹16,500.00

Golden Trellis is our heirloom collection of Mukaish work that was historically done once upon a time in Awadh region, but is not done any more. Golden Trellis is a result of, one of the many research projects we are working upon simultaneously. We know some might not see light of the day (although we firmly believe that everything can be revived if we just have the right patience and the will to keep going), some will prove to be false tales - a mirage of a narrative built for dramatic value and nothing more...but some, like Golden Trellis will be a reality that can be translated to fabric yet again, even if in a small way, even if a shadow of its one time glory...at least there will be a start. Golden Trellis is part of the Art & Antiquities Project undertaken by Meiraas. The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

Heirloom Full Jaal Mukaish: While Mukaish as a craft has mostly now become an embellishment to Chikankari, we at Meiraas have been trying consistently, to introduce this beautiful craft in all its individual glory, & in more heritage yet functional ways to wear it, to increase the longevity and heirloom value of each piece. Mukaish Jaal Dupattas on Silk are stand alone Heirloom Dupattas, that are versatile to be paired with any Kurta.
Mukaish Hand Embroidery with proper "ghutaai" - this means Mukaish embroidery has been rubbed using old technique of filling pebbles in a bottle and rubbing on the embroidery, instead of new age roller press method. This one method ensures long lasting Mukaish. In itself Mukaish is more sustainable craft that sequins or "salma sitaara" embroidery, as Mukaish never comes off, maintaing the look of the garment for much longer time.
Handspun Handwoven Tussar Silk: Thigh reeled, Handspun, Handwoven soft Tussar Silk from the looms of Bhagalpur, Bihar has been used as a base for these dupattas.

KHAYAL (moodboard): Poetry etched in fabric, Golden Trellis alludes to the once opulent courts of the ancient royalties of India. Trellis is the jaali like window pattern, a signature architecture in heritage monuments of the Golden Era. This museum quality piece of legacy bound, wearable art will a pride for any one who owns it. POSHAAK (about the dupatta): Handloom Tussar Silk Dupatta embroidered beautifully with the Trellis (jaalidaar window) Pattern Mukaish (Chheenta Mukaish) all over & finished with Gold kingri gota lace detailing (not visible in images) on the daaman of the Dupatta. The dupatta shade is natural beige colour of Tussar yarn. It is a beautiful Heirloom piece that works perfectly well standalone with any Kurta - Chikankari, Banarasi, Plain Tussar, Chanderi, etc. This one dupatta is versatile to dress up and down and adds the elegance that only Heirloom Pieces can. A perfect hand me down too. Imp: This dupatta is natural Tussar beige colour. If you want this coloured to a shade of your choice, then drop us an email at namaste@meiraas.com

Clementine Black

₹4,500.00

The colours Clementine citrusy orange & Coal Black come alive on this beautiful Tussar Silk Dupatta with Hand Dyed Shibori. The rich silk fabric is all-weather & the colour is stunning to wear with any neutral colour attire. Indian Nui Shibori Stole on Tussar Silk (Pure) fabric. Please Read: Indian NUI Shibori is a varied version of the original Japanese Nui Shibori. The Japanese Shibori is done only by hand & generally makes one big pattern on a small swatch of fabric. In India, this method varies. The patterns in Indian NUI are drawn by hand on papern, and then sewn by sewing machine allover the fabric. The handmade process involved here is drawing the pattern, tracing on fabric, tying & dyeing post machine embroidery, opening of all tie to reveal final product, finishing treatment (eco friendly). Note: These days a lot of Digitally made Shibori from India is doing the round of market that looks very intricate in the first look. However on deeper 2nd look, you see that the NUI holes (made from sewing machine embroidery) are barely visible & light cannot pass through them. Therefore please bear in mind that the Indian NUI Shibori will have prominent needle marks in pattern (refer to the last image).

Haldi Handloom Desi Tussar Kurta Fabric

₹4,700.00

Haldi yellow coloured beautiful Handwoven Desi Tussar Silk Kurta Fabric from the looms of Bhagalpur, Bihar. This is a must have ideal Kurta/Dress Fabric for any season, especially for festive winter occasions. Pair them with plain Cotton Silk pants in same colour for classy monochromatic ensemble. Styling Tip: Will pair beautifully with our The Crown Gold Zari Silk Chikankari Dupatta What is Desi Tussar? In India, mainly 4 varieties of silk are produced - Tussar, Eri, Mulberry, Muga. Out of these, Mulberry Silk is cultivated silk, whereas the rest 3 silks are Wild silks. This is an important distinction, this means yarn for the wild silks are obtained from indigenous silk worm species feeding on wild forest tree leaves. Tussar Silk yarn is extracted from silk worms that feed on wild forest trees and has a natural golden glow. Its weaving is centred mainly in Bihar, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh. Please note like all Tussar Silk, this is Wild Silk, handspun, thigh reeled and Handwoven. Desi Tussar is just a colloquial term used by weavers of Bhagalpur, Bihar to indicate towards the purest variety of woven Tussar Silk yardage. The same fabric and process will be called Kosa Silk if woven in Chattisgarh. The silk you are seeing here is therefore the purest variety of Handloom Tussar Silk. Desi Tussar term is just used here for colloquial purpose.

Aari Zardozi, Ready to Ship

Chandrakala

₹60,000.00

FROM THE VAULT COLLECTIVE Chandrakala is our final firm foray into the World of Aari & Zardozi art of Lucknow. We always wanted to do this art, but only for Museum Quality wearable art pieces, & nothing less!! Chandrakala is just that. KHAYAL (moodboard): Chandrakala, or the art of crafting Moon, is a labour of extensive research we did before launching this Vault Collective Zardozi Dupatta, crafted in Lucknow. We visited the museums of Jaipur, & in one of them saw a Red silk odhani, with Moons crafted on it with Real Gold dabka wires. The antique dupatta was torn at some places, telling stories of a once glorious past, but was carefully preserved in the Museum. It was reaching out to us with a gaze that was almost saying "Resurrect Me!!". That was the moment we decided this will be our first Zardozi Dupatta. We could not photograph the Dupatta, & neither creating the exact replica was in our minds. We did have a Chikankari motif, an old one, that had a beautiful Chaand border (see here Chaand Mayur Dhanlakshami Chanderi Saree). We decided to re create a format of that antique motif that was so reminiscent of the Maharani's Dupatta we saw, that we made a Zardozi "khaaka" out of it. The fabric used was pure Handwoven Tussar Silk to create that Regal journey!! - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas POSHAAK (about the saree): Chandrakala Dupatta is made on Handwoven Tussar Silk that is certified by Silk Mark of India. The fabric is supple and perfect to hold and add to the grace of the regal work on it. The border is embroidered with a beautiful & unique Chaand Border (read above), and has been embroidered using both Silver & Golden Dabka wires. The Dabka is extremely fine quality, please use Zoom to see the intricate detailing. The 4 side heavy border is complemented with small flower bootis in the body. To take this further, the dupatta is finished with Handwoven Gold Pure Zari Silk selvedge detailing, to make it one of a kind outstanding Dupatta. It is perfect as a one time investment to take on Lehengas, Kurtas, as a Light Shawl on sarees. This is a perfect gift for a new Bride as well, she will cherish it forever and pass on her legacy to her future generations. Important: 1 Dupatta is Ready to Ship.

KHAYAL (moodboard): Deepmala translates to a "Garland of Diyas" or Earthen lamps, one of the most therapeutic and energising sights of Deepawali festival. There is not one soul who can say that the lit rows of Diyas with their soulful flame does not invoke a sense of calmness, positivity, love and joy. It is one of those moments of joy that is not ephemeral. Do you know why? Because the silent flame of the Diya makes you realise that this is how your Aatman is inside your Body. The realisation brings the relativity & connectivity!! We wanted to capture the glow of Diyas on a Diwali night through a Mukaish saree, and here we did it through DeepMala. POSHAAK (about the saree): Beautiful supple Tussar Silk saree has been adorned with innumerable stars of Mukaish. This is a very high quality handcrafted Mukaish saree, unlike most of work that is now available in the market.
